1:1 PRIVATE TUITION
1:1 sessions are skill training, artist development, coaching and mentorship all in one.
Perfect for recent graduates of the Ableton Live Beginners Course – private tuition is an excellent way to keep the ball rolling, and maintain momentum with your creations.
I will help you develop your knowledge of Ableton Live to a powerful level; motivate you with the confidence to create; help you identify and smash your creative blocks; help you set goals and take the right steps to achieve them; provide homework to ensure you are implementing new skills.
1:1 sessions often focus on mixdown training and the refining of songs during their creation. I am available to workshop your songs with you, and mix your music in person, allowing you to observe and learn first hand as the work is done.
Bring your laptop, or send me some stems, come visit the studio and we can get down to work. Recording / production services are also available.
I am passionate about teaching and aim to provide sessions that are informative, inspirational and enjoyable. The tutoring relationship can be a powerful thing – often a factor that can create breakthroughs in a producers’ life.
For 1:1 tuition, I offer 1.5 hour lessons – enough time to ensure significant learning, breakthroughs in your knowledge every session, and hands-on experience of music production. Homework and email contact Q&A provided between classes.
